At this year's Concours d'art oratoire French public speaking competition, five students from North Vancouver took home top
awards and several more achieved finalist status from over 10,000 competitors province-wide.
"It's an incredible feat to make it to the provincial finals -- taking home a medal is a real achievement. We congratulate everyone who participated;
they are all winners. Félicitations!" said Concours d'art oratoire chief judge, Dr. Renée Hamilton-Clark.
"In addition to the cultural and language benefits, Concours d'art oratoire helps students develop their creative and public speaking abilities, as well as
self-confidence," said Patti Holm, President of Canadian Parents for French BC & Yukon. This year marked the 31st anniversary of the Canadian Parents for French BC & Yukon sponsored Concours d'art oratoire. The provincial finals
were hosted Saturday, May 3rd at SFU Surrey. Event organizers are grateful to all the local volunteers and teachers, as well as the BC Ministry of
